Brachychitons by night

On a cool evening at Highwoods on the Darling Downs I watched the fading light soak into textured bark. As eerie silhouettes against a starlit sky, these trees seem otherworldly and ancient, reaching silently toward the Milky Way.

Beautiful shots, Rob. I saw many bottle trees when I lived out at Roma in Queensland but didn’t know the interesting genus name so thanks for the education. They have wonderful silhouettes don’t they? I often tried to take shots of them in front of a sunrise/sunset. I have yet to try night photography like your impressive images.

All of these shots are amazing Rob! I especially like the next to the last one because it reminds me of my son when he was a little guy; back then he called broccoli “trees!” I also love the contrast of the trees and the stars on the last two! Wow!!!

What’s this blog about?

I’m a naturalist and photographer living in Toowoomba, Australia.

In this blog I share photographs, and often the stories behind them, as well as images and writing from guests.

Nothing here is intended to be too academic, so you may stumble across errors in fact, grammar, punctuation, spelling and, heaven forbid, taxonomy. I'm hoping there'll be no errors in my use of apostrophes, as that would be unforgivable. Let me know if there's something that you feel cries out to be fixed.

More organised galleries of my photographs can be seen on my main website (see link above in the main menu).
